JEE Main2012MathematicsStraight LinesActual
If the straight lines x+3 y=4,3 x+y=4 and x+y=0 form a triangle, then the triangle is
Options
- Ascalene
- Bequilateral triangle
- Cisosceles
- Dright angled isosceles
Correct answer
C. isosceles
Step-by-step solution
Let equation of A B: x+3 y=4 Let equation of B C: 3 x+y=4 Let equation of C A: x+y=0 Now, By solving these equations we get A=(-2,2), B=(1,1) and C=(2,-2) Now, A B= 9+1 = 10 , B C= 1+9 = 10 and C A= 16+16 = 32 Since, length of A B and B C are same therefore triangle is isosceles.
